Amongst the Melee weapons in 40K the chainsword is unequivocally the most iconic. So it should probably be a quite good weapon. instead I would say I see almost no one using it. There is something decidedly lackluster about using them. Even if statistically they don’t seem that bad. I have done dece…

Man I hope you can be a tester, not that it’s democratic but you have my vote. [image] Reginald: I mean, its pretty strong as it is I think it’s fine damage WITH thrust and Zealot boosts but needing thrust to make rev heavies worthwhile is dumb. I see the roles of the different attacks ideal…

I should probably make a compendium thread for these. [image] Chainsword would feel better if some unreeved attacks would bite and saw on the enemy Gameplay Feedback My main peeve with the chainsword is the fact that when unreeved,you don’t really have the impression that…

Alright - I know its vacation time soon. Things are not really up for further significant changes. All good, game is in a lot better place than it was on release. Congrats! Merry Christmas, Happy Newyear! The change to the Mk12 Chaxe audio today was not the victory it first appeared. I consider thi…

At work so not tested… but is still the same “wet plank” sound with some anemic revving added on?
